Forgive my ignorance but do not understand how I would look for a particular person.
My father-in-law's brother Clarence Frederick Wood (born 1892) was in the London Metropolitan Police, not sure about prior to W.W.1. but certainly afterwards. How would I look for his record of leaving?
Many thanks

Hello Romilly,
I've had a look at the Registers of Leavers. I have found a Frederick Lavington in MEPO 4/343 (http://www.flickr.com/photos/naphotorecords/3291083293/) - warrant number 67466. I've also found him joining in the Alphabetical Registers of Joiners (http://www.flickr.com/photos/naphotorecords/3833273318/in/set-72157621939214785/) and the Attestation Ledgers (http://www.flickr.com/photos/naphotorecords/3579311868/in/set-72157618928162259/).
Frederick also has a pension record in MEPO 21/38 pension number 18,657, which you can view at TNA.

You are all more than welcome. It gets better the more people use it. I am currently in the process of checking the latter books to make them more accurate.
Hopefully I'll be able to produce more resources of use. I don't know whether to post here lest it raise expectation. But I am working on putting together a map (based perhaps on Google Maps) with pins that show where historical police stations and other police buildings were placed to help put some geography to the research results. Hopefully this will be based in some way shape or form on old police maps. I'll see what comes of it and will of course keep you up-to-date.
Yours, BarnabyP
Hello aspin,
I too have reached a block on finding either of the Starks. Do you happen to have any information on when they might have started or left? If they were involved with the Jack the Ripper case that would place them in the Force just before the turn of the 19th/20th centuries. Is it also possible that they were in another force?
Yours, Barnaby
I've been having a look here for my grt grt Uncle Inspector John Stark who helped catch Jack the Ripper
But cannot find anything
He also had a brother in the police force Andrew Stark
Any help please

Hi, have just joined and hope someone will be able to help with my research.
My main area of interest is men who served with the Royal Irish Fusiliers in the Great War, one of the men I'm researching went on to serve in the Metropolitan Police.
His details are John Rushmoore (Rushmore on one of his medals) and the reference to the Met comes from a note on his medal index card with a 1921 enquiry from the Met about what medals he was entitled to (1914 trio)
There is also an article in the Regimental Gazette, when as part of a Met Police Entertaiment Troupe he entertained the London Branch of the Old comrades association in 1925.
Thanks for looking
Andy

Penny, I am related to John Jacob as well, he was my GGG Grandfather. His son Francis is my Great Great Grandfather, and his son Robert Driesen is my Great Grandfather. His son, John Driesen, was my Grandfather, and emigrated to Australia after WW2. He had met my Nan in Australia when serving with the British army, and then returned to Aus once his service was finished and they were married. Their only child was my Mum, Louise Elizabeth Driesen.
Apologies, I am new to this forum...
I have Discharge Papers for my gg Grandfather which tell me; "William Henry Dewhurst joined “S” Division of the London Metropolitan Police Force; warrant # 13996; recommended by E. Glascock, 19 Duke St., Portland Place and Mr. J. Dewhurst, 21 Regent St., Kensington. He retired from service with the London Metropolitan Police Force, S Division, 5 December 1855 with an annual pension of £ 27."
Are there further records available??? ;) If so, I am confused as to how to access them online... help?! Thanks in advance...
You need to enter some names for some one to help you

Hello Rootschatters.
I have been slowly working on a project to get transcribed indexes for books in the Registers of Leavers for the Metropolitan Police (London). As a by-product of this I have uploaded the photographs that I am using on to flickr.
There are transcribed indexes for some of the <a href="http://yourarchives.nationalarchives.gov.uk/index.php?title=Category:Metropolitan_Police_Registers_Of_Leavers">Registers of Leavers</a> on <a href="http://yourarchives.nationalarchives.gov.uk/">Your Archives</a>. There are also <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/naphotorecords/collections/72157613987467704/">photographs</a> for all but a few of the pages of these books on flickr too. I am going to continue to add the transcribed indexes as and when I complete them to the <a href="http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/">National Archives'</a> <a href="http://yourarchives.nationalarchives.gov.uk/">Your Archives</a> website.
Other records also include the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/naphotorecords/collections/72157615952312310/">Numerical Registers</a>, which cover the very first officers who joined the force. There are also some of the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/naphotorecords/collections/72157618696862035/">Attestation Ledgers</a>.
I hope that it's all helpful for other people researching their family history.
